Answer 1

Hint:
Chambal project is a joint venture between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, founded in 1954 on the Chambal River (the main tributary of Yamuna). The project aims to use the Chambal River for irrigation, power generation, and prevention and control of soil erosion in the valley. This project will be carried out in three consecutive stages.

Complete solution:
The first stage consisted of the construction of the Gandhisagar dam with a height of 64 m and a length of 514 m about 8 km downstream of the Chaurasigarh fort in Bhanupura tehsil which borders M.P. and Rajasthan. The dam, which was built in 1960, created the Gandhisagar Reservoir which covers 688 square kilometres. It has a capacity of 692 crore cubic meters of water, allowing for 4.44 hectares of irrigation. Five 23,000 kW units. The respective capacities created at the dam site.
The second stage involved building the 54 m high and 1,143 m long Rana Pratap Dam at Rawatbhata, about 35 miles downstream from the Gandhisagar Dam. It has a gross storage capacity of 290 crore cubic meters over an area of ​​198 square kilometres.
The third stage consists of the construction of a dam 45 m high and 548 m long called Dam Jawahar Sagar or Kota Dam, about 29 km upstream from Kota. It was completed in 1971-72. The reservoir created by this dam has a potential of 68 million cubic meters. Three 33,000 kW generating units. Everyone is installed here.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Kota Barrage was built in 1960, less than 1 km from the City. This is the earth barrier with a height of 36 m and a length of 600 m. Irrigation channels drawn from both sides of the dam irrigate 4.4 hectares in Rajasthan and M.P.
